16、survive6.afford.1.(1)a number of(2)The number of(3)A number ofthe number of解析(1)a number of指“许多，大量”，修饰或指代可数名词复数，谓语动词用复数。(2)the number of指“的数量”，作主语时，谓语动词用单数。2(1)such as(2)for example(3)such as解析(1)such as用于列举，往往不能把事物全部列出，可以以“名词such as被列举的事物”或“such名词as被列举的事物”的形式出现。(2)for example用于举例说明，可以用于句首、句中、句末，往往用
17、逗号隔开for example和列举的事物。.1.going upafford to2.A great many university students3.fought to survive4.to make money5.such as6.remain to be settled/solved.1.BA、B都表示举例说明，for example前后常有标点符号，而such as后则没有。2C由句中的“would not have gone to”知从句中应用过去完成时态。C项为省略if后的形式，相当于If it hadnt been。3B空格处意为“他身体仍处于糟糕的状况”。A项不合句意；C
18、项后常接名词；D项后常接to ben./adj.。4Bafford any more time off work意为“负担得起时间歇班”。因为主句的谓语felt是一般过去时，所以从句应用过去时，A、C两项排除。根据句意“长假以后他感觉他负担不起时间歇班了。”，可知应选C项。5Bsurvive生存，存活。此句的主句是一般将来时，但从句是if引导的条件状语从句，应用一般现在时表将来，所以B项正确。6Close contact with是非延续性动词词组，不可与表示时间段的状语连用，故排除A、B两项；be out of词组，可与表示时间段的状语连用；用过去完成时态，强调对过去的影响。7Dwhy he
19、 didnt come是定语从句，修饰reason；that he was ill是表语从句。8C价格的上升或下降用go up/down，故排除A项；答语“But I doubt whether it will remain so.”表明是现在情况，所以用现在完成时，可排除B、D两项。9C句意为：现在许多妇女，特别是来自农村的，在服装行业工作。由nowadays(如今，现在)可以得出应该用现在时，又因为主语是复数，所以A、B两项不对。10Dcommunicate with与联系；relate.to/with.将与联系起来；relay转播；contact与联系。根据句意可知选D项。.1.D细节理
20、解题。由第一段第一句“New England is the six northeastern states of the United States”可知，新英格兰位于美国的东北部。2B细节理解题。由第一段第三句“The colonies were ruled by England，and this is how the area became known as New England.”可知，这些殖民地曾经被英格兰统治，因此得名新英格兰。3C细节理解题。由第三段第一句“They then used wood from the trees and stones from the field to build houses.”可知，他们是用木材和石头盖房子的。4D细节理解题。由最后一段第一句中的“.but there are also small cities and farms，especially in the northern parts.”可知，新英格兰北部有许多小城市和农场。5B细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，革命战争之后殖民地成了州，但这并不是新英格兰得名的原因，故B项表述错误。
